Matt Fitzgerald, AuthorThere is a battle going on inside your body that you might not be aware of. Its a knock’em sock’em fight between increasing performance and losing weight. Find out from one of the countries top endurance nutritionists on how to unlock the secret to your own success.www.mattfitzgerald.org

I host and manage ultrarunnerpodcast.com, a site devoted to the Mountain/Ultra/Trail running world. We interview a wide range of athletes, conduct honest and extensive product reviews, and report on the daily happenings of the MUT scene.

This episode was huge disappointment. You podcasters again (everyone does this) think weight management equals weight loss. And that is total bullshit. There are fairly good number of athletes who are not fat. E.g. My problem is losing too much weight, and not being able to gain weight. (Current fat percentage 3.9.) At the end you mention the book you are marketing (Whole episode is basically marketing) contains good info also for runners who are not overweight, but I’m going to skip whole book, because you just praise it without any critical thinking. Nothing ever is only good or only bad, and if someone claims so (as you did) he/she IS LYING.

I’m really hoping future (past for you) episodes are more objective. Think more about your listeners, less your sponsors or guests.

I welcome all criticism, but we aren’t “marketing” any book. No money changed hands whatsoever. Matt F is a well-respected and interesting guy to talk to. And weight-wise, maybe it’s correlation or causation, but lighter runners win more.
